BMW re-entered the DTM touring car series last year after a 20-year absence with the 3-series based M3 DTM. By the end of the season, it had won all three championships - drivers, teams and manufacturers.
Harold Grohs scored the very first victory of the M3 in the DTM, back in 1987. Since then, the model went on to win 48 races. Bruno Spengler is the last driver to have taken the car to victory, this year in Spielberg.
